I'm using LWUIT 1.4. I want to lock the orientation for landscape. So, I used 

Display.getInstance().isPortrait();

But it says can't find symbol for isPortrait()?

Can anyone tell why this method not available in LWUIT1.4?

First...are you importing the correct Display? Is important that you don't import the lcdui Display. Second...the correct method is lockOrientation(boolean portrait) . You must write Display.getInstace().lockOrientation(true);. I think is truevalue...try to do that.

    Third. Weren't these features added in 1.5 ;-) – Shai Almog Apr 19 '12 at 18:05
  • I used this lines but still i'm getting orientation in NokiaN8. boolean showPortrait = Display.getInstance().isPortrait(); //Display.getInstance().lockOrientation(true); Display.getInstance().lockOrientation(showPortrait); – selladurai Apr 20 '12 at 07:50
  • Sorry, If you want to put your app in landscape mode put the value to false. This should work. From the API: lockOrientation(boolean portrait) On devices that return true for canForceOrientation() this method can lock the device orientation either to portrait or landscape mode – Mun0n Apr 20 '12 at 07:58

Well i have made it working by getting screen height and width .

if width is less than height just discarding it and if above allowing it

implemented same kind of scenario in Lwuit as well as Blackberry UIApplication and its working
